There's growing cohesion among executives — cutting across industry and even geography — that Trump's tax plan is going to deliver massive new investment in the United States, which should, in turn, boost growth and employment.

At an annual gathering of top business and political leaders in Davos, CEOs are actively selling the Trump tax plan to skeptics and fighting back on the public perception that the Republican tax bill was just for the rich.

“Think about large global companies: They can go anywhere. They think the U.S. is the place to talk about investing in the next 12 to 18 months,” Moynihan said Tuesday in Davos.

Blackstone chief executive Steve Schwarzman, Credit Suisse chief executive Tidjane Thiam and NASDAQ chief executive Adena Friedman said they, too, were hearing about more plans to invest in the United States now.

“I think we’re going to find a very big positive surprise,” said Schwarzman, who chaired Trump’s advisory council, the Strategy and Policy Forum, before it disbanded in August after the president's comments regarding a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville. “There are companies all around the world who are looking at the U.S. now and saying, ‘This is the place to be in the developed world.’ ”

Thiam, the head of a French company, said the tax overhaul was “exactly what we needed” and that “the positive impacts of that are underestimated.”
